The new product from the American company Quest Metal Detectors, a small metal detector called the XPointer Max, is far from just another pin in their collection. In addition to the large number of features included, the device serves as a technological foundation for creating other modifications. The XPointer Max stands out from other devices not only for its light weight but also for its unique design (it is often released in a reddish-orange color). It has a handle that fits comfortably in the hand and is non-slip, along with two hard buttons, which can be hard to call convenient in terms of use.
The main feature of this device is discrimination. It can distinguish between ferrous and non-ferrous metals. However, the device does not always detect gold chains and small earrings, which can be considered a serious drawback. XPointer Max has 3 detection modes: sound, vibration, and also sound and vibration at the same time. All these modes significantly simplify searching. Additionally, four sensitivity levels can be configured. All settings can be viewed on the illuminated screen - darkness is no longer frightening.
When identifying or, simply put, searching, the metal detector emits various signals and different values also appear on the display, which help to understand what is hidden beneath the ground or water. The screen also allows users to change settings, significantly simplifying many processes. Under the removable cover of the Quest Xpointer MAX, there is a connector for connecting a speaker and a USB Type-C port for charging the pointer.
The metal detector's battery has a capacity of 1000 mAh. The battery is of average quality, and the charge lasts for half a day (14 hours). If the battery starts to drain, the LED will warn you with a flashing light. The pointer also has an indicator, a flashlight, a holster, a user manual, and much more.
